What has Valve done right?

  • Proton
  • Steam
  • Steam deck
  • Steam market (the place to sell underpriced skins for small amounts of money) What has Valve done wrong?
  • Loot boxes
  • Moderation (it is impossible)
  • Their anti-cheat (Swiss cheese of anti-cheats, >!EAC and BattlEye are better!<)

Overall, I prefer Valve and Steam over a Chinese holding firm that almost has the monopoly over the gaming industry and the company with a black logo that has a close-minded CEO and Sweeney'd to Tencent.

Beyond all of those, there's GOG.
